Retrospective analysis of records, from July 1987 to June 1991, of 1140 inspections of slaughtered pigs from 154 swine herds in the Pig Health Monitoring Scheme of South Australia was conducted to evaluate patterns of variation in the prevalence and severity of skin lesions typical of sarcoptic mange. An increase in the severity of sarcoptic mange in winter and spring was observed. There was a substantial reduction in the severity of mange over the period of monitoring. These observations support the role of monitoring at slaughter in the management of endemic disease. They provide some basis for refining control programs for mange to improve cost-effectiveness.
对1987年7月至1991年6月期间南澳大利亚猪健康监测计划中154个猪群的1140头屠宰猪检查记录进行回顾性分析，以评估典型疥螨病皮肤损伤的患病率和严重程度的变化模式。观察到冬季和春季疥螨病严重程度增加。在监测期间，疥螨病的严重程度大幅降低。这些观察结果支持了屠宰监测在地方病管理中的作用。它们为完善疥螨病控制计划以提高成本效益提供了一些依据。
